Hi,

Im sure i started a thread,titled something like "what cars have you owned since passing your driving test"

Ive just had a look through but cant find it

Chips.

[Anees]

I do tend to keep cars for a while so my list is very short (plus still I'm quite young!)

2001 - 1989 Toyota Starlet (complete with leaking dizzy cap and a manual choke!)

2002 - 1996 Mazda 323F 1.5 "Figaro" Ltd Edition. Loved the looks and its was nice to drive. I still have it but its been donated to my sister. Going strong and has NEVER broken down unexpectedly (except a flat tyre!)

2004 - Lexus IS200 - current car

Thats it I'm afraid!

[Russdx]

1.6 mondeo

1.8 audi a4

[Noel]

In 1993

VW Golf 1.3..... horrible piece of s**t, my wife (girlfriend back then) learned how to drive because of the amount of times i had to push start it .... I was strong too

In 1994

Honda Integra 1.5 ( non import) pop up lights, i thought i was in heaven.... brill car although it had a very funny front suspension.... horizontal coil spring arm thingy... wobbly through the bends lol

In 1998

Mazda 323 1.3 hatchback, what a great little car, nippy, predictable, dependable... oh and it had a boot spoiler too

In 2000

Mitsubishi Galant, sheer luxury, fast , competent and great road feedback..... drove it into the ground, put up 140,000 miles in 5 years, went through 3 clutches though...

In 2005

Starlet 1.3 basic crock ...... great little car though, started first time every time, hot or cold, I only planned on using it for a short time while i looked for an IS200, took longer than i thought to find the right one, you get fussier as you get older, nearly went for a BMW simply because of better engine choice...

And now in 2006

New IS250 out in November '05 had me thinking that i should wait for the new year rush of existing owners trading up...... about to give up but in a moment of "madness" i called in to an import back street dealer and test drove an AltezzaRS200 and was hooked..... wouldn't buy that one so on went a frantic week search and got my baby on my birthday..... heart not brain moment......alot of friends and family thought i lost my senses buying a jap import sports car without even a warranty...... thankfully no regrets so far........

eight months later i still smile every time i drive this fabulous car and normally take the long road home ..... :)

13 years of ownership history..... should have seen the "nearly" buys i wanted.... but practicality won :(
